Multi-screen madness

Filed under: Technology — cricalix @ 11:32

I’m currently looking at three screens on my desk. That’s not too unusual for a computer geek. What is cool is that I’m controlling them with one mouse and one keyboard, across two computers. I’ve mentioned this before, it’s a tool called Synergy2.

What’s even cooler though, is that I popped Word 2007 (which really isn’t bad for what I need to do, and the default document theme is quite nice) on to the 22″ display (which is hooked on to the back of the 12.1″ laptop for $work), and it promptly started displaying my document as two side-by-side pages. That’s just nifty. No idea if OpenOffice is that smart, never tried doing it.
